— August 28, 2020 — Fashion
With the back-to-school season nearly upon us, Roots, the iconic Canadian activewear brand, recently launched its new collection of essentials that are perfect for the school year (whether that's at home or in the classroom). The new range features styles for men, women, and children in bright, playful colorways that will keep you at the top of your game.

Included in the new Roots back-to-school collection are t-shirts, sweats, dresses, sweaters, and jackets, all boasting a laidback yet sophisticated aesthetic. Notably, the new series includes the Greenbud jacket, a structured jacket with a loose fit that can be easily layered for fall fashion. The woman's Dockside Longsleeve Dress, on the other hand, features a flattering loose fit that can be seamlessly transitioned into any season.

The full collection is available to browse online and in Roots locations.
